The newspaper Akhali Taoba reports that the leader of the Armenian
Diaspora in Georgia and MP Van Baiburt regards the ethnic Armenians
living in Georgia to be an inseparable part of the Georgian nation.

He completely agrees with the statement made by President Saakashvili
that Georgia is a multi-ethnic state and it consists of Georgians,
Georgian Azeris, Georgian Ossetians and Georgian Armenians.

According to Baiburt, the president’s statement regarding the
non-ethnic Georgian population is a message to ethnic Georgians that
it is impossible to differentiate these people from Georgian society.

"Both the Georgian and the non-ethnic Georgian population in Georgia
are building a state together," explained the MP.
